HCG once a week at 250iu?

[methos0123]

I was wondering if anyone has done, or know of anyone having only used 250iu/week for the nut shrinking issue?

It is entirely dependent on the individual. Some people use less. I prefer 250iu twice a week. That's fairly standard. I blast 500iu ED in the two weeks prior to initiating PCT. That's just me and it works.

I am trying to see if it is possible because I cannot donate blood (gotta keep the HCT under control), and I don't wanna deal with the AI's....too many negatives from them for me. However, my nuts are shrinking, even though when I check them out...it doesn't appear to be that way, but it feels like they are...if that makes any sense.

I think if I can get away with only 250iu's a week, and still benefit my nads, that won't mess with my T and E numbers too much.

Generally like stated, most protocols are 250ius twice per week which is what I do for TRT. However, you can mess around with it and see. You might need to up it.

I used 250 twice a week and still had softness and shrinkage.

I then bumped it up to 250, 3 times a week and no more shrinkage.

I'm going to try 200, 3 times a week and see if I can still avoid softness and shrinkag with less meds.

My doc says lowest dose for HCG on TRT is 1200 i.u. per week.....
this id to maintain sperm count....
I get away with 500 i.u. E3D....

Isn't that the doctor you think is a piece of shit though?

500 i.u. 2 times a week does it for me....
notice shrinkage and aches with less dose....

No need for ED HCG. You're over stimulating and wasting it.
HCG is biphasic in action....
see study:
Self-priming effect of luteinizing h... [J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1985] - PubMed - NCBI

250iu's twice per week should be sufficient.
Some do more, some do less. It's very individual.

Also 250ius shouldn't raise estrogen significantly on a sensitive test to cause concern.

not for everyone....

hence why I said it's very individual

Methos0123, how did you go with only 250iu HCG a week?

I never tried. I am doing great with just the test, and I keep hearing all kinds of pain in the a## with adding hcg and AI. I think I have only lost about 1/8"-1/4" from the nads, and don't seem to be losing any more. My biggest beaf is the sac shrinkage...they don't hang like they used to, and I don't see how that can be from only losing the amount of size that I have lost.

Not sure if this will help you, but this is what I was planning to follow here shortly.

Yeah, 9 months on TRT and I'm still having trouble dialing in my E2, not to mention gyno flareups. It seems like HCG is a gyno supercharger for me. Currently on 210iu E3D, but looking at dropping that down to 90-110iu E3D and see how that goes.

Good luck man. Why not just drop everything but the test, and see how that goes for a bit?

Besides, it doesn't sound like that low a dose will help you...from what I hear anyway.

 

[MBB]

Because HCG gives me a slightly increased sense of well-being.
I feel as though I'm quite sensitive to HCG so a really low dose may be enough.

 

[Jimstigator]

I've been doing 50iu EOD with success. Boys perked back up. Haven't had semen analysis yet... soon.

MBB - HCG is gyno hell for me at any dose. And its not from elevated estrogen. I have seen a few studies showing LH receptors found in gyno that has been removed from some men, which could explain the heavy response to HCG.
